We look forward to welcoming you to the Yarra Valley Railway!

Please treat our volunteers with respect. Any rude and abusive behaviour will not be tolerated.

Please note that due to track maintenance in the brick tunnel at Tarrawarra, train rides will go up to a point near the tunnel but not through the tunnel.  Our volunteers will be working as hard as possible on this maintenance work, however at this stage we are unable to provide a date for resumption of train rides through the tunnel.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Train rides will still be operating.
